whoo hoo!

Christmas scene on cover to be read in January seems harsh! we able to stretch a point to generic snowy-ness?

Generic snowy-ness is fine. :))

I'll be able to grab tagged Germany with a biography of Martin Luther. :)

Sammy took charge of developing the Sheet and will dedicate herself to it after Wheel is over. 😊

I've already made a start! Might even get it finished before. Not needing formulae for point calculation and such makes it a lot quicker 😆

Thoughts?

Lots of food + lots of books = win 😁

I also like that some of the chairs seem to have been designed by M.C. Escher! 😂

Oh, love it!!.


Will add it to my first post tomorrow when I'll be using my laptop.

Hello Second Breakfast Readers!

(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

Love it Karen!

Teddie: official GIFs are fab, but please don't inflict one of your infamously horrific AI gen images on us! I don't think I could cope with strangely positioned baked goods!

Hi Teddy,

glad to see you here and seconding Cat's request. 🤭

Cat, what do you mean by "strangely positioned" ....

on 2nd thoughts, I don't want to know. 🤭

I made a copy of Sammy's beautiful Master Sheet for us.

The link is now in our 1st team post, together with Karen's awesome team design. 🥰

Mel - do you remember her inferior painting creation? Strangely positioned painting implements galore!

I cannot un-remember it. :D

@Cat hmm, that kinda sounds like a challenge to me ;)

Teddie, drinker of the bitter invention of Satan wrote: "@Cat hmm, that kinda sounds like a challenge to me ;)"

I was worried you'd take it that way!

Reading challenges here, not AI images please!

I really didn't mean to traumatize anyone with the goofy AI images - out of respect for JRRT I will resist temptation and refrain from experimenting for this challenge - I will diminish, and go into the west, and remain Teddie.

♡

we love your AI images, but in a safe place that isn't our second breakfast table please! :)

Does my heart go pitter-patter every time someone quotes (or paraphrases) LotR?

Why yes, yes it does.

Nothing insidiously disturbing at the breakfast table - check!
:)

The only brew for the brave and truuuuuuuuue... Comes from the Green Dragon!

Go forth and mingle! 😁

Merry Xmas eve 🎄

I’ll be reading The Girl with the Louding Voice for one of my RL Bookclubs in Jan so I’ve added that to our spreadsheet for EDITH in title 😊

Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️ 🎆

Wishing you lots of festive first and second breakfastses, lunches and dinners. 🍽

What Mel said, while adding afternoon teas, suppers and elevenses! 😁

also, I think I must have been very unwell recently, because I haven't planned a single, solitary book for january yet!! 😲

:O

I haven't either, although the January audiobook challenge prompt and this one calls for me listening to the Tolkien letters. :) ♡

Definitely! The 1st task would be a particularly perfect fit 😁

;) ♡

Besides the gorgeous LOTR collector's HU edition, I also got the coveted The Nightmare Before Christmas lego set, so Domi and I've been busy building it. :D

Nice!

I got: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-...

and: https://www.lowplexbooks.com/cdn/shop...

and also: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dollhouse-Mi... (but not building it until safely ensconsed in new house!)

Plenty of gorgeousness. ♡

Actually I just realised that we need an extra room to do justice to all the legos Domi & I got bw ourselves. :D

Ok, I've lined up some "next to read books" for Jan, and a couple of them fit tasks here without having to actually read the books first, so grabbed them. Will do a bit more digging once others have grabbed themselves whatever they want to read 😁

OK, I also added a Martin Luther bio for Germany tags. :)

grabbed a task! woo hoo! we are off :)

I had to restart Hollow Crown which works for Non-fiction MPG.

😊

I'm working on my first couple of books 😁

And another one I'm reading has a smoker, so bagged that too.

Q: is this good for the Christmas cover?

Reasons why: snow visible through the window, holly at the bottom, Christmas in title

Reasons why not: bit subtle

Thoughts?

It's fine, Cat. ;)

huzzah! will start it later today :)

I finished EDITH in the title. It was a small book and a public holiday here 😊

I’m now working on two Tomes before UNO starts so I won’t claim any more tasks but will be on the lookout for if they can fit for any reason.(Unfortunately one is Cormoran Strike 7 and JKR doesn’t use her initialled name as an author for that series!)

Just finished my first one too, and will probably finish another tomorrow, hubby permitting 😆

Mel, did you change your mind on the German book? If so, I have a Kafka I can squeeze in. If not, I have other stuff to read, so I'm happy either way 😆
